I am a career coach and I offer a programme that is designed for those who want to make strategic decisions and plan their careers, there is a list of what’s on offer, but you decide what you need and want. And you can change as you go along.

Over the course of the journey, you will work intensively with Mary on the issues that you need to develop a really successful, fast-paced career.

This programme is ideal for those who are facing a crossroads in their career – especially those who are thinking of changing career or sectors, are facing redundancy or going through a period of re-assessment.

It is only suitable for those who are ready to challenge themselves and to dedicate time and energy to developing their knowledge of themselves and of their career options.

If you are serious about your career but need someone else to challenge your assumptions and hold you to account for your progress, then this will give you the clarity and focus you need.

As well as regular mentoring/coaching sessions, and ‘homework’ exercises, you will receive unlimited email access to help you…
